Concept

身体を理解することは、自分を深く知ること

 

Refinementは

身体の構造を理解し

安定した動きを身につけていくためのスタジオです

 

うまくなりたい

もっと変わりたい

その想いに応えるために

感覚だけに頼らない方法を選びました

 

軸を整え

コントロールを身につけ

再現できる動きを積み重ねていく

 

派手な変化ではなく

確かな変化を大切にしています

 

大人が安心して学べる環境を軸に

指導者が理解を深められる場として

 

そして

将来を見据えたジュニア育成へとつながる土台として

 

それぞれの立場で

身体と丁寧に向き合う時間を重ねていきます

 

Refinementという名前には

「磨く」「洗練させる」という意味があります

 

動きだけでなく

理解そのものを磨いていく

 

ここでの時間が

踊りを、そして向き合い方を

少しずつ変えていくことを願っています
